The Monstrous Hero

Posted on March 14, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

How Far Can an Anti-Hero Go?

Posted on March 12, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

In War of Nytefall, I had to change mental gears because the Dawn Fangs aren’t exactly heroes.  They could be considered that by their own species, but they’re still fairly monstrous in that they kill and destroy a lot.  I considered … Continue reading →

First, another look at the trailer from Chris the Story Reading Ape in case people missed it. Now, I thought I’d highlight Sari since I realized she doesn’t get much on this blog.  Poor thing tends to be in spoiler … Continue reading →

Posted on December 27, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

One thing I added to Warlord of the Forgotten Age is the concept of a fallen or broken hero.  It might seem late in the game for a such a subplot, but I wanted to see how it would work when it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on December 25, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

In the final hour, I made a discovery.  Legends of Windemere: Warlord of the Forgotten Age was going to be the end and I had to close things up.  This included some tidbits that I didn’t realize I had added in earlier … Continue reading →

A Hero’s Fate Is Not Always Simple

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

The fate of the champions and the Baron has always been swirling in my head as I wrote the books.  Once I reached Warlord of the Forgotten Age, I had to make choices on who gets what ending.  It’s both a … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Voices in His Head

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

I toiled and fretted about this one because it reveals something about Luke Callindor that I’ve never mentioned on the blog.  Yet, we’re at the end of the road and I can’t show how he’ll be starting this story without … Continue reading →

Help From All Corners: Heroes Don’t Have to Fight Alone

Posted on December 6, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

As I was outlining the final battle, I realized there was a problem.  The Baron was going to have an army of monsters at one point, which seemed rather ridiculous in a way.  It meant the champions could have simply … Continue reading →

Posted on November 29, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz
